And Obama murdered hundreds of civilians with drones, yet we’re still able to acknowledge the freedoms that American people have.

Peter Santinello is a guy on YouTube who does very genuine interviews with people from all walks of life. He has a short series in Saudi Arabia where he talks with all kinds of people, including women. They talk about how women driving became a thing and you can see how modern some cities are. Women are not even wearing a headscarf everywhere.
Definitely recommended to watch if you want to get a different view on the country than the perspective you get from most western media.
I think the basic reasoning is some form of:
“If you support Palestina, you are against Israel. And you can’t be against Israel, because then you are an anti-semite and that means you support Hitler.”
It’s mainly prevelant in western countries that historically support Israel. I do think a big part of that is some historical shame/feeling the Jewish people are owed something, given the genocide they had to endure in WW2. And of course a touch of geopolitics. And right wing politicians using Israel as a way to position themselves (I guess they hate Muslims more than Jews?).
Really amazing how all nuance is lost when you discuss Israel online.
If you mean the person you’re responding to is downvoted: right now the comment has one downvote and two upvotes. Hardly any activity, let alone enough to argue for any voting conspiracies.
This is not how it will go down. PVV might briefly hurt when its government fails, but then they’ll start spewing their far right populist shit again and people will eat it up and vote. In the meantime the whole political conversation has shifted to the right and will nor recover.
Having PVV form a government is not good. Not on the short term, definitely not on the long term.
I like your optimism, but VVD and NSC are probably going to try to work with Wilders.
I don’t see a connection between climate justice and justice for Palestinians, other than that it’s both about justice. Could you elaborate why it’s necessary to bring these seemingly unrelated struggles for justice together?
I btw totally see how a lot of social justice is tied to climate justice, but specifically the Palestinian struggle seems totally unrelated. Happy to change my mind.
I can strongly recommend the SponsorBlock extention (also available in revanched).
There are huge differences. One country came into existence due to a federation disintegrating, because its members called for independence. The other country came in existence because an occupier forced it upon the people living there.
There wasn’t also a huge amount of migration involved with Ukraine. People mostly continued their lives when Ukraine became independent. The founding of Israel involved many Jews for all over the world migrating to that area. You can imagine that affects the people already living there.
It’s also hard to imagine people will live in harmony when one side literally enforces an apartheid regime on the other side.
Ocean cleanup is also working on systems to prevent plastic from leaving rivers and flowing into the oceans.
Maybe Anne Frank is the vegetarian burger?
Oh, it should absolutely be the team’s decision and you’re also totally right that Kanban requires a more mature team. People indeed need to be able to recognise and ask for help when they’re stuck (which means being vulnerable, but also simply being able to formulate the right questions). People also need to be able to give feedback to their team members when they feel or see that someone is struggling or not delivering enough.
To facilitate I always have some form of retrospective in my teams, even when doing Kanban. Sometimes only once every other month, sometimes every two weeks. Highly depends on the maturity of the team and customer.
I work in a company where we say that everyone is an expert (and to a very large extent this is really true). We create teams of experts, including more business savvy people. Everyone respects each others expertise and makes sure they can apply it as best as possible. We don’t infringe upon each other’s expertise. We might ask another expert about the why or the how, but we should not assume we know better. Obviously this happens sometimes, but then we remind each other that we’re all experts and that an engineer wouldn’t like to be told by marketing how to do their job either.
I think this fits nicely with ‘stay in your lane’ and actually makes it easy to remind people to do so. It’s in the core values of the company that people excel in their lane and cooperate with people in other lanes.
I would even argue that points, stories and sprints are not things you need. If you go kanban, you don’t need sprints. You still need to be producing and you probably want to get a feel for complexity so you can prioritize, but that can be done without points.
Stories are also very scrum specific and you can turn them into whatever format you want. I usually still call them stories, but they’re basically just a little card that describes the context (why do want something) and the deliverables (what will be implemented to meet that want).
It’s both.
Enough people need to reduce meat consumption and realize there are alternatives (and make it interesting to innovate alternatives for meat – just look at the explosion of alternatives over the last five years). They also contribute to creating awareness around this subject, influencing others to change or at least consider changing their behaviour.
Because in the end you need enough support to enact changes such as a meat tax. This has been tried in the Netherlands, but there still isn’t sufficient support to introduce this.
I’m not surprised at all. Bird flu has gone form a major to a massive problem in the last year. We just had to wait for it to mutate and infect mamals regularly (it already happened every now and then).
A few days ago there was also news about cats in Poland being infected. It already infects humans sometimes. No human to human infections yet, but I guess with a strain that’s mamal compatible, it will come sooner or later (probably sooner).
This is what happens when you put a shit ton of animals in cages together. It will not become better until we find our place in the ecology again, instead of believing we live outside it. This doesn’t just apply to infectious diseases.
It’s a bit surprising that the virus hasn’t mutated enough to infect more people and eventually spread from human to human, given that in e.g. the Netherlands there is no bird flu season anymore, but that it infects birds year round. Earlier this month they finally ended the requirement that birds had to be locked up, after almost 9 months! That’s the longest lock up period ever. (They also killed millions of chickens and such in an attempt to prevent spreading of the flu.)
Doesn’t mean that this won’t become the next pandemic. It sounds quite likely given this news. Cats are mamals and they’re also spending a lot of time around humans.
While on trail, Taghi ordered and succeeded in the murder of:
This level of violence aimed at innocents was unheard of in the Netherlands. It’s what drug trafficking brings.
